What's On The Other Side?

Well, I've been very very busy working on a lot of new material. Not only for an EP, but also for a full-length. So far, I think things are sounding pretty good, very very dark, much darker than originally imagined, but that's the beauty of musical therapy, you let your feelings out with your songs and this is just the stage of my life that's coming out in my music.

I hope to have more details on "Apathy In Overdrive" soon, but I'm still working on songs and then I'll decide what songs go on there, but don't fret, it won't be an overwhelmingly long period of time.

Some songs I'm working on include "1H8T3U", "Long Time Coming", "Freak", "Lets Go", among others. I am excited to show everyone my art, but it won't be out until it's ready. Thanks for reading and I'll continue to keep you posted. 

Words Mean Nothing, Bass Means Everything!!!

I thought I'd show you some lyrics. These lyrics go to the self titled song "Monochrome Circuit", which pretty much somes up the meaning of the name MONOCHROME CIRCUIT:

I'm so sick of this everyday mess
So tired of the bullshit and the stress
I used to see blue, I used to see red
Nothing can quiet all the voices in my head

Everyday it's all the same
Can't escape the black and gray
Every night and every day
Why does it have to be this way?
(way way way, way way way)

There's always clouds over my head
No pretty colors, no friendly faces, so I play dead
The rage has subsided and the numb has settled in
I close my eyes and hope that someday this will end

Everyday it's all the same
Can't escape the black and gray
Every night and every day
Why does it have to be this way?
(way way way, way way way)

No letting go, no letting go of this
Is there any way to clean up this mess?
I just want to erase the pain
But it's engraved in my brain

Everyday it's all the same
Can't escape the black and gray
Every night and every day
Why does it have to be this way?
(way way way, way way way)

More updates to come soon, until then check out the new song "Fabricated Smiles"

A Weekend That I don't think actually Happened...

You know how sometimes something you never thought would happen actually did happen and you were just so happy about it you didn't think it was real? Yeah, that was my weekend. Last night I hung out at Vain Ultra Lounge in Detroit with friend DJ *Asterisk* and watched two great DJ's Kenneth Thomas and Shawn Michaels. Kenneth absolutely tore the place down. In the process I got to hang out with two of my biggest musical heroes and influences (and one former neighbor of my sister). You may know them as Klayton (Celldweller) and Bret (Blue Stahli). I have proof but even I don't believe it. Time of my life. I came home to realize I didn't have my keys so I was stuck outside in the freezing cold at 4:30 AM. Something like that would generally piss me off severely, but I have yet to be mad about anything since last night. I'm still on cloud nine. In the process I uploaded a new track titled "Fabricated Smiles". Check it out on the myspace. I'll be keeping you updated on everything involving the making of "Apathy In Overdrive" and everything else in my life. Be ready for the most boring ride of your life.
